Discovering Unconditional Love: Like Jesus Do by Jimmy Clifton
Lyrics
Like Jesus Do
Expressing a desire to love like Jesus
There was another one
Referring to another individual
Who wasn't angry
Describing the other person as not being angry
There was another one
Repetition of the previous line's sentiment
For your safety
Expressing a motive for the other person's actions, prioritizing safety
And I
Personal reflection or continuation of the narrative
I don't wanna blame you
Expressing a reluctance to blame
And my cry
Reference to the speaker's cry, motivated by love
Is love for you
Affirming love akin to how Jesus would
Like Jesus do
Reiteration of the desire to love like Jesus
There was another Son
Introducing another Son, suggesting a religious or spiritual context
Cause you weren't worthy
Explaining the reason for the Son's existence, despite unworthiness
There was another grace
Introducing another grace, possibly divine, to alleviate suffering
To take your hurting
Describing the grace's purpose to ease pain
Remember when we died
Reflecting on a past event of death and its transformative impact
It changed you
Highlighting the transformative effect of the mentioned event
But when you let your pride
Warning against the negative influence of pride
Hold on you
Emphasizing the grip of pride on an individual
Not like Jesus do
Reiterating the aspiration to love as Jesus does
Patience can't have patience
Stating a limitation of patience when self-control is weak
When it's self control is weak
Linking patience to self-control
Trust Him
Encouraging trust in a higher power
He can change us
Expressing the potential for personal change through humility
But we have to come so meek
Emphasizing the need for humility in the process of change
There was another one
Referring to another individual who loved in challenging circumstances
Who loved when we couldn't
Highlighting the love expressed in difficult situations
There was another one
Introducing another individual with a patient listening attitude
Who patiently listened
Emphasizing the virtue of patient listening
And why
Questioning personal actions and decisions
Am I such a fool
Expressing emotional vulnerability and questioning one's foolishness
I cried
Describing personal cries, possibly in a spiritual or emotional context
But He loved me
Affirming the love received despite personal shortcomings
Like Jesus do.
Reiterating the desire to be loved like Jesus does
